Breaking The Chains is a rock music project of the biggest and best rock musicians of The Netherlands created to raise awareness for child abuse and support the great work of Bikers Against Child Abuse (B.A.C.A.). Eelco Slont handed out a NickyB (by Bo-El) guitar for their upcoming auction. This NickyB (with custom BTC serial number) will be signed by the Breaking the Chains musicians and can be yours at the right price. For more info, check www.breakingthechains.nl.

Every year the dutch magazine De Gitarist organizes an election to decide who are the best guitarists and bass players in the Benelux and the world.  We are very proud of three of our Bo-El players who achieved a very high ranking in this polls over 2017.

Johan van Stratum, at this moment playing a world tour with VUUR, was elected the best bass player in the Benelux. What a fantastic achievement! Also amazing are Marcel Coenen and Mark Bogert, who respectively became third and fifth in the list of best guitarists in the Benelux.

Saturday 10 February Peter Vink and  Mark Bogert organized a succesfull Bo-EL clinic at The House of Music in Dordrecht. These famous guitarists, and Bo-EL fanatics, explained about our guitars and bass guitars, their own sound and special playing style. (Pictures B. Kruizenga)
